More Than Half Million
New Chevrolets Place on
Road Since January Ist
the United |
Detroit, May 4—FEvidence of the wide-
spread popularity of the new six cylin-
der Chevrolet was revealed here today
in an announcement by R. H. Grant,
vice president of the Chevrolet Motor
Company in charge of sales, that more
than a half million of the new cars have
been placed on the road since the first
of the year.
A significant feature of this achieve-
ment, it was noted, is the fact that
greater rfumber of six cylinder cars than |
any other automobile manufacturers has |
ever produced in an entire year. |
This would even |
figure have been
greater, Mr. Grant pointed out, if Chev- |
rolet had been able to take immediate |
care of the tremendous volume of orders, |
{with which the factory has been flooded
since the introduction of the new car.
“Nearly every month this year has
seen a new monthly production record.
In order to satisfy the demand for cars
pouring in from nearly every section of
the country, output has been steadily
increased as fast as consistent with the |
precision manufacturing methods which
Chevrolet employs,” says Mr. Grant.
To signalize the achievement of plac-
ing on the road more than 500,000 cars
in less than four months time, Chevro-
let has secured John Philip Sousa and
his world famous band for an hour's
broadcast over a nation wide hook-up
Monday ‘night. It will be the first time
that the celebrated March King has
been heard over the radio. The radio
debut of the famous band master will
come over the air during the regular

Beware of Danger
Blasting caps are useful articles
when used in their proper places but
they are very bad things for children
to play with. Strangely enough sev-
eral hundred children are injured and
some of them are killed each year
from playing with blasting caps which
are left lying carelessly about by
workmen. As a result the Institute
of Makers of Explosives, an organiza-
tion composed of nearly all of the ex-
plosive manufacturers of the United
States, is making its annual appeal to
parents, teachers, children, workmen
Chevrolet in four months time built a and all others to use every safeguard
to protect children whose safety
might be endangered should they pick
up a blasting cap. Of course there
would be no danger except for care-
lessness resulting from leaving these
little trouble-makers lying around.
But when children come upon bright
shiny blasting caps there is something
that fascinates them, and results show
that their curiosity is aroused so that
they pick them, hammer them, throw

Count VonLuckner
Lecture Well Attended
A large crowd attended the lecture
given by Count Felix Von Luckner at
the Somerset High School last Wednes-
day evening, April 24.
Known to the public as the “Sea
Devil” Count Von Luckner told about
his experiences in a varied career start-
ing when he was thirteen years of age.
The Count spoke with German accent,
and with appropriate gestures told a
thrilling story in a humorous way. His
references to his “examinations” and
his “clear conscious” convulsed the au-
dience who were spell-bound for over
two hours.
He told why he ran off at the age of
thirteen, his desire to see “Buffalo Bill;”
his disappointment on reaching Colonel
Cody’s Denver residence and finding
that Buffalo Bill was in Germany with
his circus. After “walking the ties” to
New York, the Count got a job wash-
ing dishes and polishing knobs at a
hotel. Saving over a thousand dollars
he sailed back: to Germany, studied nav-
igation, took an examination and was
commissioned a lieutenant in the Ger-
man Navy, thus fulfilling a promise
made to his father when a boy. Hi
reconcilliation to his family, their admi-
ration of him beng a self, made man
and hs meeting with his *“uncle Fritz”
was related in a manner which could not
be imitated by any one.
When the war broke out, Count Von
Luckner was stationed on a warship,
but at his own request fitted a schooner
to pose as a Norwegian Lumber Craft
and ran the British blockade during a
hurricane. = Getting a serious message
over the wireless that a traitor had re-
vealed his plans, the count renamed his
vessel, broke portholes and flooded his
cabin to destroy his papers. He was
stopped by a British destroyer and
boarded, but had a Norwegian speaking
crew, a boy disguised as his wife, and
to make sure that “she”, would not be
questioned, he put cotton in “her” mouth
to simulate tooth ache. The Count fig-
ured that in order to run a blockade he
must have a “clear conscience.”
Seeing the big guns trained on his
vessel, thinking about the forty men in
German naval uniform in the hold, and
his 100 horse power motor concealed by
lumber, he began to lose his “clear con-
science.” He remembered a package
handed to him by a friend when he em-
barked and went down to get it. Un-
wrapping it he found a quart of brandy,
labelled for Napoleon 100 years before.
“I thought—what was good for Napo-
leon then was good for me now;” he
told the audience, “I pulled the cork,
and after 18 or 20 swallows, I regained
my “clear conscience!”
At this point the Count stopped,
looked at his watch and said “I have
talked for two hours.” = The audience
urged him to finish, so he continued this
lecture.
The British got his story and knowing
about the hurricane, gave him the signal
for “Pleasant Voyage” and he continued
his voyage. He sank 500,000 tons of
Allied shipping but never took a human
life. Getting captured, he was impris-
oned in Australia, but with a few com-
rades he escaped with a small boat and
travelled 2000 miles in the life boat.
At the conclusion of the lecture the
audience left regretfully, some however,
waited and got autographed copies of
his book “The Sea Devil.”
Count Feli Von Luckner was received
with honor in many cities and belongs
to twenty-two Civic
America. Truly he is
id
Organizations in
a “Friendly Ene- |
my.” His tour of America is second in
importance only to Linbergh’s trip over
the Atlantic.
In a sugsequent meeting between Ar-
thur Vollmer and Count Von Luckner,
it was found that they were both reared
in the same'city (Dresden) and the two
had quite a conversation. Mr. Vollmer
took the Count’s photograph and has
some on sale at $1.00 each. You can
get one by calling at his studio over
Beachey’s.
